PSCI Chair Deirdre O’Reilly to speak at CPHI Milan on Materiality & the Supply Chain

The Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI) is delighted to be an Official Sustainability Partner for CPHI Milan, the largest international pharma industry event, for the third year in a row. We will be exhibiting throughout the conference from 8-10 October 2024 at stand 6B72 in Hall 6.0, where we will showcase the impact that the PSCI has on the pharmaceutical supply chain.

Materiality Unveiled
Materiality assessment often comes with the perception of high complexity, surrounded by uncertainty and myths. This workshop, “Materiality Assessment Unveiled,” joined by Deirdre O'Reilly, PSCI Chair and Senior Director of Global EHS Supplier Operations at Viatris, will offer a unique opportunity to collectively practice the principles of double materiality in a live, interactive experiment.

What to Expect
Participants will work in groups representing different areas of the pharma value chain, actively running a step-by-step approach from a long list of topics defined by regulation through the latest Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) logics, all the way to the first assessment results.
This workshop will help answer critical questions, such as:

  1. What’s now really behind the myth of double materiality?
  2. What are the differences in methodology compared to previous approaches?
  3. What is double materiality good for?

This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in materiality assessments and collaborate with industry peers in a cross-industry prioritization of sustainability matters.
